This White Sage (Salvia apiana) hydrosol is beautifully displayed in a cobalt blue 4 oz glass bottle with a black spray top. The precious essential oil from this plant’s leaves and flowers is stimulating and cleansing to the skin, soothing to sore muscles, and restorative to skin and hair. We’ve steam distilled wild crafted pure and genuine white sage from sustainably harvested plants located at Refugio Gardens Ranch in the foothills of Santa Barbara to create an artisan hydrosol (herbal solution). Sage or Salvia meaning "to save" may be the most healing herb known to mankind. Salvia apiana, Santa Barbara's White Sage is no exception. Native Americans used this plant to treat sprains, sore muscles, colds, congestion, to stop sweating and for ceremonial purposes. The oil is a stimulant for the nervous system, metabolism, and vital centers, and is antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial. Hydrosols have been likened to homeopathy and have been called the "real" aromatherapy. The aromatic herbal water is very gentle. We recommend you use this hydrosol to freshen the bathroom, spray on your body, disinfect the hands, spray in the dryer when doing laundry, add to the bath, spray on the hair, or clean the air (as a substitute for the well known smudge stick for those who are smoke sensitive).

Safety & Cautions
Please be advised to keep essential oils out of reach of pets and children.
Please avoid using photosensitive essential oils (Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Calm Shen Blend and any products made with these oils such as Santa Barbara Goldenbush Lotion) prior to going out in the sun or using a tanning booth as they can react to sunlight and cause something similar to a severe sunburn.
It is advised to void continuous long term use of the same essential oils.
Be sure to research the powerful effects of essential oils before use.
Use diluted essential oils on the skin (Carrier oils like Jojoba are great for this in a 10% essential oil to 90% carrier base oil ratio).
It is advised to patch test on a small portion of sensitive skin and discontinue if there is irritation or a negative reaction.
Please know the safety data and specific warnings on an individual oil or Blend before using.
And please use careful caution using essential oils during pregnancy. Any use should be approved by a medical provider.
Its important to keep essential oils away from your eyes. If oil does get in your eye, do not flush it out with water. You can dilute the area immediately with vegetable or carrier oil by placing the vegetable oil on a tissue and gently wiping the eye area.
Also essential oils are flammable so please avoid direct contact with flames such as candles.
Please do not use essential oils internally unless properly trained and prescribed by a physician. If accidentally swallowed, call the Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) immediately and do not induce vomiting.
